Hello, Thanks for your question. I am Dr Akshay from Fortis hospital, New Delhi. I think you are prone to high uric acid levels quiet often. My advise is to make dietary modification which means less amount of red meat and especially rice, but you should go to a dietician and get a diet chart made to be strictly followed till your levels come down to normal values. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & Regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena
